The current record NG run has some weird deaths on the ghaul fight that I wanted explained because they look different than mine. Im not saying hes cheating or anything I just want an answer to what is going on.

¤Edit¤ To make it more clear (because I wasn't) when he dies the death screen leaderboard doesn't appear and he instantly respawns as if he wasn't in a darkness zone. I included one of my own deaths in the ghaul fight for reference.

PC - these are from a recent run not posted to speedrun.com Console - these are from his current run

Mine for comparison - It should start right before my death.

So I'm assuming mostly everyone knows about using the fast travel nodes to finish the same public event two or more times. I'm also assuming everyone knows how it works, so my question is this: Do you have to stay as a fireteam the entire run after you join up after spark? Or can you leave the fireteam during the level grinding sections? If you have to stay together the entire time the run will be much longer than the solo version.

I already did a NG run with a friend we just joined up in orbit after leaving the tower from A Guardian Rises and I was wondering if that could be a category so we could post our run.
